Title: Ryou's Series of Misfortunate Events: Part 1: Power Outage
Chapter Title: Chapter 2: Reasons
Rating: R
Pairing(s): Maybe Bakura x Ryou if they get together…
Warning(s): Yaoi, abuse, Blood, cussing, well lets say this… this story has
Bakura in it… and he's crazy.
Beta: Yami Princess
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh…
Plot Hint: The Series of Misfortunate Events contains time travel so the Shadow
Magic doesn't have to be from modern Japan. I'm not saying it isn't, but I'm not
saying it is.
A message to Paniwi: Yes Ryou is acting like a wussy at the moment… but I didn't
have much of a choice… if I didn't make him such a wuss, him and Bakura would
clash personality wise… and I made it so Bakura doesn't like nor get along with
people he clashes with. To answer you question: I'm making Ryou and Bakura
ALMOST complete opposites, also I tried to keep Ryou from Ryou's Secret, and
this Ryou's characters as different as possible… and there's another reason…
read Author Notes at bottom of fic.
This Chapter is really sweet… so MEGA WAFF warning… I usually don't write this
stuff… but I'm trying to as far away from Ryou's Secret as possible…

~That Night~
Welcome back… were did we leave off… oh yes… Shadow Magic… and lit candles

9:26 PM
Complete darkness… with the exception of three candles lit around the room.
Bakura liked it.
Ryou did not.
Bakura returned to watching the white rain from the window. Ryou watched it too.
There was nothing else to do. Bakura seen this moment as nothing special. Ryou
treasured it, it wasn't often they sat so close together for such a long period
of time. The candle flickered time to time, but gave the room a soft glow almost
romantic.
"Hikari-baka…" Bakura stated softly, that was the spirit's pet name for his,
sort of, Ryou didn't like it much, but at least it was better then some of the
other names the spirit had called him. Ryou was also a little taken back by the
spirit's tone, was different. Ryou didn't know how to explain it… almost like it
was someone else talking. It wasn't mean, or spiteful, or even hateful, it was
just different. It was nice.
"Hai Bakura-sama?" Ryou answered, turning his head slightly to look at Bakura,
who was still staring out the window.
"Tell me about white rain." Ryou smiled, he never actually told Bakura what snow
was, he just said it was snow, and Bakura, being from a country and time when
snow never fell, must have been a little surprised.
"Well it's like normal rain, only frozen. It's so cold outside that it causes
the rain to freeze and becomes snow, or as you call it, white rain." Ryou
explained. Bakura nodded and said nothing for a while. Until out of no where's
he spoke.
"Your world… hikari…Ryou… it is so strange… it is nothing like my era, you have
strange electrical devices, cars, and crap like that… things my time never had…
what I'm trying to say is… I feel so foreign, so ancient, so stupid in your
time… I could never survive on my own in this world… I don't think I could ever
get use to this, things have changed so much in 5000 years." Bakura finished and
glanced at Ryou, who's jaw dropped, needless to say Ryou probably looked like a
fish out of water. Ryou felt like saying: 'Who are you and what did you do to
Bakura-sama.' but decided against it. Bakura, on the other hand, was mentally
cursing and kicking himself, his wall was coming down… and he didn't want it to.
His mouth was working against him. He was telling his hikari things he didn't
want to.
"I understand, is that why your still here?" Ryou said instead, in a strange way
he knew what his yami meant, and understood it completely. Ryou realized that
Bakura was talking to him like an equal… progress! They were having a 'moment'
and this moment Ryou wasn't going to soon forget. It wasn't everyday Bakura
talked to him like this, nor opened up like this.
"That is one reason…" Bakura replied calmly, returning his eyes to the window.
'Stupid mouth! Stupid brain! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!' Bakura mentally insulted
himself, who knows what other things could come out.
"You mean there are other reasons?" Ryou blinked, talk about shocker. Ryou was
afraid if this kept up he might have a heart attack. Not that is was a bad
thing, but it was unlike Bakura.
"Yes." Bakura answered simply. Finally able to control his body and his mouth
again.
"What are they?" Ryou asked. Can we say breakthrough? Yes? Because that's what
was happening. Maybe, just maybe, Bakura was changing.
"… shut up." Bakura hissed, his hikari-baka was getting annoying, that, and he
wished not to say anything that made him look softer then he already did. No
thanks to his little 'I couldn't survive with out you' speech.
~
It was getting colder by the minute, Bakura pretended to take no notice, but
even he had to admit it was getting chilly. They both had sweaters on, Bakura's
was black, Ryou's was cream coloured. Even with the sweater on Ryou was
shivering, and it was only going to get colder.
If Ryou had to been brave enough he probably would be cuddled up with Bakura.
Problem? It was Bakura… and Bakura didn't look like he was cold enough to resort
to cuddling to keep warm.
Ryou tried to keep his teeth from chattering, but it wasn't working. Both of
them sat on opposite sides of the couch in complete silence. Well unless you
count Ryou's chattering teeth. Neither of them spoke a word for what seemed like
an hour… finally Ryou stood up, "I'm going to bed, good night Bakura-sama."
Bakura grunted and glanced quickly at his hikari. Ryou blew all but one candle,
which he used to find his way to his room. Leaving the yami alone in the
darkness.
~
"I wonder what it would feel like… to have Bakura hold me in his arms… maybe…
no… it's Bakura… what am I thinking…," Ryou whispered to himself as he entered
him room. Ryou silently wished he could be in a normal, equal, relationship with
the spirit of his Millennium Ring, maybe even a sexual relationship, but that
seemed impossible. Bakura was abusive, the abuse was unlike anything seen in
most domestic abuse relationships. Bakura's abuse could be so bad that not even
the worst domestically abused woman could handle.
It wasn't always like this… it started after duelist kingdom… after he has
betrayed the spirit. When Bakura had trapped his friends in the game Monster
World he had betrayed the spirit then. Bakura had given him a second chance… and
he blew it. Bakura used to be kind to him. Defending him from bullies, teaching
that stupid teacher who told him to shave is head a lesson, and in the spirits
own way, granting his deepest wish… to have friends who would stay with him
forever. That wish was granted, because they were dolls now… they weren't going
anywhere. Ryou wondered why Bakura didn't give him the usually nightly beating,
tonight he was spared, he wondered but did not dare ask, in fear the spirit
might think he wanted the crap beat of him.
Ryou crawled into his bed and was about to blow out the candle, then had a
change of heart and left the candle lit.
~
Back to Bakura…
There was nothing to do… Bakura was bored out his mind, which was usually not a
very good thing. Alas, there was no where's to go. He had tried to go out side…
it was far too cold out side… Ryou told him that white rain was cold like ice…
but he wanted to see for himself. Thankfully the only person who saw his
reaction was Ryou; who knew better then to laugh at his misfortunate.
There was certainly nothing to do around here. Nothing worked… maybe going to
bed wasn't such a bad idea…
Bakura headed towards his bedroom when he noticed a light coming from his
hikari's room, and the door was open a bit. Curiosity got the best of him. What
could his foolish hikari be doing? The crept silently to his hikari's room and
peeked in. His hikari was fast sleep and… the candle was still burning. What was
his hikari trying to do? Set the house on fire?
"Baka…" Bakura muttered as he walked over to lit candle, he put the flame out
and headed to bed.
Bakura had just reached Ryou's door when he heard, "Bakura-sama…" The spirit's
head snapped towards his sleeping hikari. Ryou was dreaming about him!?!? A
light blush rose to his cheeks… thankfully it was dark and no one was around.
Bakura left the room and quickly headed to his own, he may have been a spirit,
but after 5000 years the inside of Ring was one the last places he wanted to be.
Besides his room wasn't too bad… not the best… but it was better then the floor,
or the Ring.
Bakura took off his sweater and his tee-shirt, if there was one thing Bakura
couldn't do it was sleep with a shirt on. Tonight was going to be a cold night.
He kind of wished he had someone else in the bed so he keep warm off their body
heat, but his bed was empty, like it was every night, like it would be every
night for the rest of his lifetime. Bakura crawled in under the blankets, it was
an improvement, heat wise, but not by much.
Bakura closed his eyes he was trying not shiver and sleep. He was half asleep
when a soft voice brought him back to reality. "Bakura-sama?" He didn't need
open his eyes to know it was, the British accent told him it was hikari. That
and no one else could get in…
"What to you want hikari-baka?" Bakura growled, he opened his eyes to be met
with huge, innocent, green orbs. Ryou was kneeling beside Bakura's bed.
"It's cold… you think I-I…?" Ryou stammered, Ryou was blushing so bad his face
was almost glowing. Bakura would have laughed, but he too tired to put forth the
energy to do so. He was also a little taken back… why would Ryou want to be
anywhere near him? What was his hikari-baka up to… Bakura could sense Ryou had
hidden motives, besides getting warm.
"I think you what? Get in bed with me?" Bakura growled again. Ryou silently
nodded, his blush getting worst. "Get in…" Bakura gave a defeated sigh, he was
getting soft… no not really, Ryou's body heat would keep him warm for tonight.
So he was getting something out of this, and if Ryou told anyone… he'd just kill
his hikari, well... beat him senseless.
Again, Simple!
Ryou crawled into his yami's bed and pulled the covers up to his neck and almost
immediately fell asleep. Unfortunate, for Yami Bakura, most people are
"cuddlers" when they sleep, Ryou was no exception and as soon as Ryou fell
asleep he cuddled up with the closest source of heat… Bakura.
Bakura was shocked for the third time at day, he moved to the far side of bed,
away from his hikari, but to no avail. Ryou was cuddled back up with him. Ryou
was really warm, and he was really cold, see what I'm getting at?
Again, it was dark, Ryou was asleep, no one was around… who would know? If Ryou
woke up and ask, all he had to say was he was cold. 'What if Ryou woke up? And
then told people… no Ryou is wouldn't tell… he's too scared of me… alright… just
tonight… just tonight… hikari-baka!' Bakura thought before drifting to sleep.
His arm wrapped around his hikari, pulling the boy into a warm embrace.
"Good night Bakura-sama…."
~*~
Ryou is in Bakura's bed! See Ryou being a wussy isn't so bad… it got him in Bakura's bed! If Ryou wasn't such a wussy they wouldn't be cuddling!
Bakura isn't OOC, he's just showing a side of him we don't usually see, the side we see in battle city… when Yami dueled Bakura… and Ryou was in trouble… yes Bakura protected Ryou…
Remember Reviews = Longer Chapters, Faster updates, and more yaoiness…
I read some things on a forum and I wish to share them with you:
On the topic of Ryou not existing and Bakura was just playing the role of hikari to get closer to Yugi and the mill. puzzle:
I think that Ryou and his Dark Side are still two people, but the line between
them is blurring... at least on Ryou's part. I think he sometimes forgets where he ends and where Yami no Bakura begins.
And on the topic of Ryou:
I dunno... to me Ryou -- yes, I do refer to the hikari as Ryou -- comes off as somebody in dire need of TLC, if the characterizations of yami Bakura are to be believed.
Yami yugi would probably stake himself before harming Yugi, and both halves of Malik are twisted enough that it's really hard for me to gush over that particular hikari... but Ryou is sweet enough to have people cooing over his mistreatment at Bakura's hands.
Then again, Bakura's a cakewalk compared to Yami Malik. O.o;;
